Role:
Robotics Engineer (Software Focus)

Salary: $145,000-$165,000 dependant on experience + healthcare + 401K + PTO

Location:

2 days per week onsite in Boston as a minimum, remainder can be remote.

We are seeking a Robotics Engineer with a strong software focus to support the development and integration of advanced robotic systems for automation and logistics applications. In this role, you will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to build reliable, scalable software and firmware solutions that connect robotic platforms with hardware, cloud infrastructure, and control systems.

• Collaborate with hardware, software, and controls engineers to define and implement software and firmware requirements for robotic platforms
• Design, develop, and maintain software for robotic subsystems, including motion control, sensor integration, communication interfaces, and system diagnostics
• Perform continuous testing, debugging, and troubleshooting to ensure system reliability and performance
• Support hardware bring-up, system integration, and validation activities during development and deployment phases
• Develop and maintain APIs and software interfaces that enable communication between robotic systems and cloud-based platforms
• Contribute to software architecture improvements, deployment processes, and system optimization efforts

• Advanced proficiency in:
• C/C++, Rust, and Python
• ROS2, including node architecture, topics, services, and actions
• Microcontroller development and embedded system environments
• Low‑level communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I2C, CAN, and Ethernet

• Understanding of:
• CI/CD pipelines and modern Dev Ops workflows
• Software‑in‑the‑loop (SIL) and hardware‑in‑the‑loop (HIL) testing methodologies

• Experience working with:
• Perception systems including cameras, visual SLAM, and obstacle detection technologies
• NVIDIA robotics platforms and tools such as Jetson Orin, Jet Pack SDK, and Isaac Sim
• Robotics control systems, motor controllers, and sensor integration

We cannot offer sponsorship for this role.
